Even as JNUSU leader Kanhaiya Kumar was sent to judicial custody till 2nd of march, ahead of his hearing there was high drama in the Patiala Court as upholders of law took the law in their own hands. Lawyers again ran riot as clashes broke out between pro and anti-Afzal League groups.

A journalist was even targeted by the lawyers who blatantly defied Supreme Court diktat. What’s shocking is that senior cops present in the court premises looked on without interfering or stopping the rampaging lawyers.

The big question is haven’t these lawyers done a great disservice to the legitimate attempt being made to prosecute those accused of ‘sedition’?
